FAQ

What problem does Farms and Finance help solve?

Too many farmers in Australia borrow too much debt.
 

What is Farms and Finance?

Farms and Finance is the tool we use to broker introductions.
 

Why should I use Farms and Finance?

I should use Farms and Finance because I am a farmer trying to find the right strategic investment partner who is out there for me.
It feels like there are more and more new investors are realising they need investment relationships with people like me because we control upstream production in the supply chain that helps improve food security.
 

What problem do I have that I can use Farms and Finance to help me solve?

My competitors are growing by arranging third party capital as equity rather than borrowing more money from a bank.
My farm requires my full-time attention, I do not have enough time to leave it and spending too much time in the city is probably required to meet enough potential equity partners and figure out who are the right ones for me.

 

Why would I need a compatible 3rd party investor?

I hear that some strategic investors want to trade flow or off-take rights to send products into markets where they control access to demand like China, now Australia’s largest trading partner.
I also hear some invest only in food businesses in which they have some investment ownership because they feel that helps them improve security of supply.
 

What four key goals can be easier for me to achieve using Farms and Finance?

Goal #1) Maintain enough of my privacy, personal and commercial, so I feel comfortable to search online for potentially compatible Joint Venture or Investment Partners.
Goal #2) Start interviewing more investors more easily who have commercial goals that are more closely aligned with my own.
Goal #3) Obtain mutual consent from two people who want me to introduce them BEFORE I agree to do that by email or any other way.
Goal #4) Refer stories to help mates, clients, colleagues, friends, family or associates by forwarding links to stories on Farms and Finance by email, Facebook, LinkedIn, WeChat, WhatsApp and any online messaging services.
